Good luck on your venture john!

I haven't taken the time yet to fix, but the burned out portion of the bulb filament seems to make the most sense. I'll probably wait until spring to fix and replace with LEDs.

I broke the roll pins in my snowblower last year which makes the impeller useless, and you have to dissassemble the whole impeller assembly to fix. that's my current project with the snow predicted for this weekend!

John-

To be honest I was hoping against hope that this was electrical because its a job and a half to access the rear bulbs on this scooter!! I guess there's no way around it and I'll just need to schedule some time to do it.

Thanks to all for the input.

I finally was going to do some troubleshooting this afternoon but it was too cold. What I did see before I quit was that now the tail lights come on when I just turn the key (without starting). I believe this proves its a short some where - no light ever came on with just the key before. I'm thinking how I might have caused it, and right now the only thing I did was to add two ground wires to a screw-in-the-frame grounding point when I added some lights a month or so ago. I wonder if I ruined the ground in the brake circuit (but then again, it starts no problem.) Hmmmmmmm.

I just noticed last night that my brake lights are not lighting up. The taillights are fine, but they do not light up when the brakes are applied. I replaced one of the brake switches about 4 months ago and I know that the brake lights were working at that time. It seems unlikely that a new and an old switch would go at the same time. Also, it seems equally unlikely to me that the brake portion of the bulb's filament would both go too.

My question is how to troubleshoot this. I have a meter so I assume that I test across the switch leads with the motor running and the brake applied? Can someone let me know what the next step would be if that comes up with a positive result? Thanks.

I have a Linhai version 260 if that matters.

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the bake pan/transfer method, and on scootdawg I got a bunch of suggestions about using half an old milk gallon container. All great suggestions, Alleyoop notwithstanding!!! When I first started driving thirty years ago the preferred method was to drain the oil while parked over a storm drain. how times have changed.

Glad you're ok. I had a very similar crash, and my attacker was a young kid in an old lexus wearing sunglasses at night. I ended up replacing some parts and "repairing" some with ABS cement. I was OK, and to his credit, the kid showed up with the money I asked for for the parts when he said he would.
